Dacă, deci, aţi(A) înviat împreună cu Hristos, să umblaţi după lucrurile de sus, unde Hristos şade(B) la dreapta lui Dumnezeu. Gândiţi-vă la lucrurile de sus, nu la cele de pe pământ. Căci(C) voi aţi murit, şi(D) viaţa voastră este ascunsă cu Hristos în Dumnezeu. Când(E) Se va arăta Hristos, viaţa(F) voastră, atunci vă veţi arăta şi voi împreună cu El în(G) slavă. De aceea, omorâţi(H) mădularele(I) voastre care sunt pe pământ: curvia(J), necurăţia, patima, pofta rea(K) şi lăcomia, care(L) este o închinare la idoli. Din pricina(M) acestor lucruri vine mânia lui Dumnezeu peste fiii neascultării(N). Din(O) numărul lor eraţi şi voi odinioară, când trăiaţi în aceste păcate. Dar(P) acum lăsaţi-vă de toate aceste lucruri: de mânie, de vrăjmăşie, de răutate, de clevetire, de vorbele ruşinoase(Q) care v-ar putea ieşi din gură. Nu(R) vă minţiţi unii pe alţii, întrucât(S) v-aţi dezbrăcat de omul cel vechi, cu faptele lui, 10 şi v-aţi îmbrăcat cu omul cel nou, care se(T) înnoieşte spre cunoştinţă, după(U) chipul Celui ce l-a(V) făcut. 11 Aici nu mai este nici grec(W), nici iudeu, nici tăiere împrejur, nici netăiere împrejur, nici barbar, nici scit, nici rob, nici slobod, ci(X) Hristos este totul şi în toţi. 12 Astfel dar(Y), ca(Z) nişte aleşi ai lui Dumnezeu, sfinţi şi preaiubiţi, îmbrăcaţi-vă cu o inimă(AA) plină de îndurare, cu bunătate, cu smerenie, cu blândeţe, cu îndelungă răbdare. 13 Îngăduiţi-vă(AB) unii pe alţii şi, dacă unul are pricină să se plângă de altul, iertaţi-vă unul pe altul. Cum v-a iertat Hristos, aşa iertaţi-vă şi voi. 14 Dar(AC) mai presus de toate acestea, îmbrăcaţi-vă(AD) cu dragostea, care este legătura(AE) desăvârşirii. 15 Pacea(AF) lui Hristos, la(AG) care aţi fost chemaţi ca să alcătuiţi un singur trup(AH), să stăpânească în inimile voastre şi(AI) fiţi recunoscători. 16 Cuvântul lui Hristos să locuiască din belşug în voi în toată înţelepciunea. Învăţaţi-vă şi sfătuiţi-vă unii pe alţii cu psalmi, cu cântări de laudă(AJ) şi cu cântări duhovniceşti(AK), cântând lui Dumnezeu cu mulţumire în inima voastră. 17 Şi orice(AL) faceţi, cu cuvântul sau cu fapta, să faceţi totul în Numele Domnului Isus şi mulţumiţi(AM), prin El, lui Dumnezeu Tatăl. 18 Nevestelor(AN), fiţi supuse bărbaţilor voştri, cum(AO) se cuvine în Domnul. 19 Bărbaţilor, iubiţi-vă nevestele şi nu ţineţi necaz pe ele. 20 Copii(AP), ascultaţi de părinţii voştri în(AQ) toate lucrurile, căci lucrul acesta place Domnului. 21 Părinţilor(AR), nu întărâtaţi pe copiii voştri, ca să nu-şi piardă nădejdea. 22 Robilor(AS), ascultaţi în(AT) toate lucrurile pe stăpânii voştri pământeşti(AU); nu numai când sunteţi sub ochii lor, ca cei ce caută să placă oamenilor, ci cu curăţie de inimă, ca unii care vă temeţi de Domnul. 23 Orice(AV) faceţi, să faceţi din toată inima, ca pentru Domnul, nu ca pentru oameni, 24 ca unii care ştiţi că(AW) veţi primi de la Domnul răsplata moştenirii. Voi slujiţi(AX) Domnului Hristos. 25 Căci cine umblă cu strâmbătate îşi va primi plata după strâmbătatea pe care a făcut-o; şi nu(AY) se are în vedere faţa omului.

The Life of the New Man

So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God.(A) Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth.(B) For you have died,(C) and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. When the Messiah, who is your[a] life, is revealed,(D) then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.(E)

Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature:[b] sexual immorality, impurity,(F) lust,(G) evil desire, and greed,(H) which is idolatry.(I) Because of these, God’s wrath(J) comes on the disobedient,[c] and you once walked in these things when you were living(K) in them. But now you must also put away(L) all the following: anger,(M) wrath,(N) malice,(O) slander,(P) and filthy language from your mouth.(Q) Do not lie(R) to one another, since you have put off(S) the old self[d](T) with its practices 10 and have put on(U) the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your[e] Creator.(V) 11 In Christ[f] there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian,[g] slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.(W)

The Christian Life

12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved,(X) put on heartfelt compassion, kindness,(Y) humility,(Z) gentleness,(AA) and patience,(AB) 13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.(AC) 14 Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called(AD) in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. 16 Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name(AE) of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Christ in Your Home

18 Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.(AF)
19 Husbands,(AG) love your wives(AH) and don’t be bitter(AI) toward them.
20 Children,(AJ) obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,(AK) do not exasperate(AL) your children, so they won’t become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your human(AM) masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.(AN)
23 Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically,[h] as something done for the Lord and not for men,(AO) 24 knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer(AP) will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.

劝门徒思念上面的事

所以,你们若真与基督一同复活,就当求在上面的事,那里有基督坐在神的右边。 你们要思念上面的事,不要思念地上的事, 因为你们已经死了,你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。 基督是我们的生命,他显现的时候,你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。

弃旧更新

所以要治死你们在地上的肢体,就如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲和贪婪,贪婪就与拜偶像一样。 因这些事,神的愤怒必临到那悖逆之子。 当你们在这些事中活着的时候,也曾这样行过。 但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事,以及恼恨、愤怒、恶毒[a]、毁谤并口中污秽的言语。 不要彼此说谎,因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为, 10 穿上了新人;这新人在知识上渐渐更新,正如造他主的形象。 11 在此并不分希腊人、犹太人,受割礼的、未受割礼的,化外人,西古提人,为奴的,自主的,唯有基督是包括一切,又住在各人之内。

爱心是联络全德的

12 所以,你们既是神的选民、圣洁蒙爱的人,就要存[b]怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。 13 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕;主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人。 14 在这一切之外,要存着爱心,爱心就是联络全德的。 15 又要叫基督的平安在你们心里做主,你们也为此蒙召,归为一体;且要存感谢的心。 16 当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里[c],用诗章、颂词、灵歌彼此教导,互相劝诫,心被恩感歌颂神。 17 无论做什么,或说话或行事,都要奉主耶稣的名,借着他感谢父神。

劝夫妇父子主仆各尽其分

18 你们做妻子的,当顺服自己的丈夫,这在主里面是相宜的。 19 你们做丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,不可苦待她们。 20 你们做儿女的,要凡事听从父母,因为这是主所喜悦的。 21 你们做父亲的,不要惹儿女的气,恐怕他们失了志气。 22 你们做仆人的,要凡事听从你们肉身的主人;不要只在眼前侍奉,像是讨人喜欢的,总要存心诚实敬畏主。 23 无论做什么,都要从心里做,像是给主做的,不是给人做的。 24 因你们知道,从主那里必得着基业为赏赐,你们所侍奉的乃是主基督。 25 那行不义的必受不义的报应,主并不偏待人。

The New Life in Christ

So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your[a] life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient.[b] These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life.[c] But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive[d] language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. 11 In that renewal[e] there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!

12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord[f] has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ[g] dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.[h] 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Rules for Christian Households

18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart. 22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters[i] in everything, not only while being watched and in order to please them, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.[j] 23 Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters,[k] 24 since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve[l] the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong has been done, and there is no partiality.
